DEVICE FOR OILING- SAWS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented llilay 115, 1917.

Application filed November 29, 1915. Serial N 0. 64,128.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MIRAI-I DELL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Hallandale, in the county of Dade and State of Florida, have invented new and useful Improvements in Devices for Oiling Saws, of which the following is a specification.

This invention is an improved device for attachment to the handle of a saw and for use in applying oil to the blade of the saw, to enable the saw to operate easily in gummy or hard wood, the object of the invention being to provide an improved device of this character which is cheap and simple in construction, is not likely to get out of order, which may be readily attached to the handle of a saw and by means of which oil may be readily applied to the saw blade.

In the accompanying drawing Figure 1 is an elevation partly in section, of a saw oiler constructed and arranged in accordance with my invention.

Fig. 2 is a detail transverse sectional view of the same.

For the purposes of this specification, a saw blade is indicated at 1 and a saw handle at 2, both of ordinary construction. In accordance with my invention, I provide a tank 3 for oil. This tank is provided with a wooden protecting shield 4: at the side next to the blade and is shaped at the opposite side to bear against and conform to the shape of the lower side of the handle as shown. The shield 4 is covered by a sheet metal shield 5 and which is interposed between the shield 4 and the saw blade, the said sheet metal shield being provided with straps 6, which may be integral therewith, and which extend across the outer side of the tank and are secured to the handle as at 7, so that the tank is thus secured to the handle. Said metal'shield also has a slot 8 for the reception of the saw blade. A tube 9 is arranged in the tank and extends through the side thereof'next the handle. An operating rod lOis arranged in thetube and also extends through an opening in the handle and is provided with a button 11.

cup 12 is provided to receive oil from the tank and in the bottom of the cup is a valve 13to control the admission of oil from the tank to the cup, said valve having a supporting lever 14 which is pivotally mounted as at 15 and is connected to the rod 10 for operation thereby. A spring 16 is provided which engages said lever and normally holds the valve in closed position with the button 11 in projected position. By depressing the button, the lever is caused to open the valve 13 thus admitting oil from the tank to the cup. The cup is provided with openings through which the oil drips onto the saw blade on both sides of the latter.

WVhile I have herein shown and described a preferred form of my invention, I would have it understood that changes may be made in the form, proportion, and construction of the several parts without departing from the spirit of the invention and within the scope of the appended claim.

Having described the invention, what is claimed is:

A saw blade oiling device comprising a tank having an upper wall shaped to fit against the lower side of a saw handle, said tank also having an oil cup on the lower side, a shield incasing the tank and having an opening in its lower side to receive the oil cup, a valve to control the supply of oil to the cup from the tank, means to operate the valve, and an outer shield covering the lower side of the first-named shield, and also forming the bottom of the oil cup and provided with oil feeding openings.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

MIRAH DELL.
